What is it about the movie Slumdog Millionaire that catches people's heart? It received 81 international awards for so many reasons. I haven't watch it, my mum has already watched it. One thing interest me most...the opportunist that uses kids without parents (most parents are slaughtered alive) for a syndicate...beggar business.
I'm sure you have heard before of children being amputated in knees and arms, or being blinded using concentrated acids to be an 'effective' beggar. This story is about it...
One of the heart wrenching dialogue: "It's okay Jamal, that I can't see...but they give me food to eat".
I don't have the guts to watch it yet. It changes my mom's intention of going to India to visit my sis, Sara. It must have put an impact on her...for basic needs, they are willing to let go one of their body parts...I lamented for those who has such fate.

This is my Travian village
What I have here is actually after 7 days of real hard work...not that I really plow the farm and strainig my back building houses...(that is real life, not game...you are confused there). Actually it is more than 7 days resources...I sort of cheated (but a legal one), where I build another village in the same area *you can choose which area eg: north-east, north west, south-east, south-west* and then I transfer the resources to my REAL village...genius huh?Well it is the reason I can't get to sleep (worried that my village is attacked), but it is also the reason I could really get on my work. While waiting for the resources become enough to build a certain building, I get to do my homework. After an hour of doing work, i'll chill out by checking my village's progress...
I am started to think...when will I actually grow up. (Why I ask this to myself...I still have magnetic effect towards manga...some read only 1...I read 4! Hmm hmm)
Lets Compare!
I am already planning for the 'costume' that I should wear for my engagement. Hadoi, it is a bit tedious. I am sure everybody would want the perfect clothes to wear that day. I have been thinking to either borrow (sewa...we dont use 'let' for clothes rite? That is just for houses rite?...*no idea) or buy the clothes. Definitely buying would cost more than borrowing, and I have checked...if I am to borrow (RM150) I would only be able to wear it once. But if I buy (RM250), I could wear it until it doesn't look like a kebaya anymore (ada org buat kah mcm tu?). So I think...I will buy it and spend the most of RM300, including 'tempahan'.
This is my favourite choice...It is creamy in color and has marvelous details. I took this from SureChantique.com where you can find gorgeous kebaya and kurung which can make you out of your mind!. So this clothes cost RM220 (belum jahit)...a bit pricey.
Now this is my other choice, I think the design of the collar is so enchanting. It is just like the design of princesses in the fairy tales (the one cinderella wears). So it got my interest as well. It is cheaper I think...RM180 (belum jahit).
Now this one is still pretty...I just love the elaboration of the floral design. I am hoping to find Elaborations that have 2 or three colours of the same base...still elegant but not so messy. This one I think is RM160 or something. I still feel that it is a bit boring. Because the extraordinary of the clothes can't be seen through the camera.
Okay, I think this is very beautiful because you can actually see the elaboration because of its 2 colours. The design is simple, there is no labuci (I can put it there anyway) and if I just change the 'selendang into white and the 'kain' into silky white...it could be a perfect one...I am prone to this choice although it doesnt have very specific detail as num 1. This one is around RM160.
Hm...this one uses benang sulam sort of thing where the elaboration uses thread, not sew into the fabric and making hole later, it is *pasted it there (not with glue mind you). It is RM190 (belum jahit)...but still so pretty laa, the fabric is the shining type, I can just find 'kain' that has soft type fabric which portrays more of the elaboration colour...something a bit golden and very light brown.

Yosh!!!

I am Misleading Myself
I have been joining this game 'Travian' which progress slowly, but continuously. I need to be extra patient to play this game. It is not just about playing it, but it's about setting strategies and building alliances. I have started to attack my neighbours for crops and I have only less than 2 days for Beginner's Protection. It scared the hell out of me. So I am now building more troops than ever! Getting prepared for unknown enemies. Woo...it's slow but it is damn fun to play.
Basically, Travian is a game where you can choose which tribe you want. Each tribe has its own specialty. You can choose either Roman, Teutons or Gauls. I don't know of these tribe's origin (historically) except Roman. This is not a problem though. Beginners will be given immunity for about a week I think, to build up enough forces, resources and defences. This is the part where you have to patient because you need resources to build anything and these resources came from your farm you build yourself.
So now...I can't blame this game can I? I should blame myself for finding such a fantastic game and ended up misleading me away from progressing my thesis. I have to catch up though. I think while waiting for the resources become enough for my buildings, I could read up few pages of books and write up few paragraph of my proposal eh?
The mood!!! The mood!!! Oh please come to me!!!

Things I Shared With Lovee
I had a long drive with Saleh today, just to ease our mind seeing people's place. From KL to Muar all in one day. We discussed over many things. Especially about my past, definitely about my good friends and about how living life now seems so much easier.
My past is a good one. Not that I hope it will befell on anybody I know because it is so harsh...it might not be harsh to few people as they faced something harder with more pain than I have. Divorce, break-ups, falling apart, heart break over life itself and many other things. But hey, I know it's worth it. To compare it with colours...I am glad i've seen the darker side of life. I taught me to love.
My good friends are of course Zaza, she is there to accept me of who I am despite my past...*and to also teach me of naughty stuffs. Then come Azharul, it has been a year that I have not heard his voice. But he was there to calm me down when I just went berserk over my decision to end my life 3 years back. He gotten busy with his girl, nothing to envy only that I miss him so much that I hope that his girl is not holding him tight. He knew me since I was 15 and we kept on remembering each other.
Now comes Shairul, the only one person that I have the guts to tell my secret. He's been there to listen and to acknowledge my need to be heard. When I first met him in 2003 I never thought that he could be a very good friend. Putting him the third doesn't meant that he is the 3rd person I acknowledge...It's just that I want to talk more of him. Whenever I discussed of my friends, Saleh would thankful to them, although I cannot say Zubir's name that much. His ears will go red and starts to increase the car speed. Scary woo
Everybody now is getting engaged (me and Shairul) and married (Azharul). How I have seen my life as a treasure now...if God has really decides on taking me back...I wouldn't see my life as it is now.

A Journey Starts with the First Step
Uhuh! I am taking a new step towards an endless journey of writing. I like writing and I am starting to love it. I guess anyone would when you can actually write anything you like. I think if there is any rule in blogging, people would stop immediately...blogging world would go down the drain...that will be sucks. (you can even use dirty words...*giggle*...m just not used to it)
I know through this blog I will paint it with all the colours I found in life through words. I like imaginary words (thanks to the lessons my lecturers in B. Ed. TESL taught me). Then to also practice writing books. I just hope that I would carry on being heightened up with putting ideas on my wall so that the writing skills won't go rusty.
I used to write in the Friendster Blog where I share many ideas with friends and family. I am still writing in there so that I could still share with others. They have this automated links to other friends just like Facebooks have. Feel free to visit my other blog in "Dearest Rainbow". Get to know me more on my Friendster or my Facebook
The book that I talk about, it is more on academician book. I think I would try to talk of leadership first since it is my thesis title. But that part of story will have to go to my other blog in "I read to write". I think I would collaborate with my mum in writing the books. We have started in writing a chapter of soon-to-be international book. "Framing the Future" is a book from many academician in Malaysia and from other countries to elaborate on the topic of a given talk in a scholar seminar. I have just started, following others steps.
My last post in "I read to write" is in 2007, can you believe that! I have an explanation to it (i feel i'm doing injustice here). First is that I forgotten all about it (I feel bad). Then it was supposed to be the informal report of the project paper during my degree, now that I am taking my master and starting to write my thesis (started my proposal...seriously), I feel I should start writing again for all of my journey in writing thesis in master level. It is still not too late.
Better late than never people!
